a colorful day

In the studio bright and early this morning to get the air conditioning running before class started. My studio class today was Soy Wax Batik and it was a joy. Part of the pleasure was the small size of the class: four people -- all of whom are experienced in surface design. Two of them had taken a batik workshop with me several years ago and wanted to do it again; the other two had never worked with this process before and had a great time with it. Here are just a few of the pieces this over-achieving group produced.

Nancy used this process to "save" some of her bland commercial fabrics.

Here is a piece of Joan's fabric before she ironed it. it turned out to be fabulous.

Debbie and Jane brought t-shirts to batik: this is Jane's.

After this class, Debbie has about 100 more things to be cheerful about. This is one of them.

Everybody went home happy with their fabrics and I will finish cleaning up on Wed morning. Skipped the gym today and came tome to put my feet up.
